2013 LINCOLN MKZ turn signal

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly
upon activation. After airbag
deployment, it is normal to notice a
smoke-like, powdery residue or smell
the burnt propellant. This may consist
of cornstarch, talcum powder (to
lubricate the bag) or sodium
compounds (e.g., baking soda) that
result from the combustion process
that inflates the airbag. Small
amounts of sodium hydroxide may be
present which may irritate the skin
and eyes, but none of the residue is
toxic. While the system is designed to
help reduce serious injuries, contact
with a deploying airbag may also
cause abrasions or swelling.
Temporary hearing loss is also a
possibility as a result of the noise
associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly
and with considerable force, there is
the risk of death or serious injuries
such as fractures, facial and eye
injuries or internal injuries, particularly
to occupants who are not properly
restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag
deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the airbag
module as possible while maintaining
vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags
is not required.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT
SYSTEM
The system flashes the turn signal
lamps and sounds the horn
(intermittently) in the event of a
serious impact that deploys an airbag
(front, side, side curtain or Safety
Canopy) or the safety belt
pretensioners.
The horn and lamps will turn off when:
•
the hazard control button is
pressed
• the panic button (if equipped) is
pressed on the remote entry
transmitter, or
• your vehicle runs out of power.
Spin out Detection
If a spinout is detected and the hazard
warning flashers come on, the
message Spinout Detected Hazards
Activated will appear on the
instrument cluster.
Once the hazard warning flashers
have been activated, they can be
turned off by:
• pressing the hazard warning
flasher button.
• pressing the remote control unlock
button.
• pressing the remote control panic
button.
• cycling the ignition on and off
twice.

Note:
The sensors may not detect
objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.
The system detects an available
parallel parking space and
automatically steers the vehicle into
the space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and
brakes. The system visually and
audibly instructs you to park the
vehicle.
The system may not function correctly
if something passes between the front
bumper and the parking space (i.e. a
pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of
the neighboring parked vehicle is high
from the ground (i.e. a bus, tow truck
or flatbed truck).
The system should not be used if:
• a foreign object (i.e. bike rack or
trailer) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another
location close to the sensors.
• an overhanging object (i.e.
surfboard) is attached to the roof. •
the front bumper or side sensors
are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e.
front bumper cover).
• a mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist Press the button located on
the right side of the center
stack.
The touch screen displays a message
and a corresponding graphic to
indicate it's searching for a parking
space. Use the turn signal to indicate
which side of the vehicle you want the
system to search on.
Note: If the turn signal is not on, the
system automatically searches on the
vehicle's passenger side. 187
